Chapter 9 Example 6

Think of five other possible uses for speech recognition in our society:

1) Assistance to those who cannot write in a given language


2) Provide assistance to handicapped

3) Voice activation systems- for example for security purposes....I mean, imagine if entry into a home required voice activation and did away with keys.

4) It would change the roles of students- both correcting, and creating language based assigments.

5) Study the evolution of language easier---if there were many different systems using voice recognition and it was accessible to all, I think our language would change to accomadate faster processing and I think that would give insight into how languages evolve/develop.
